In 1833, Stephen Shipman (bapt.1794-1841) was probably the son of Henry (a cutler) and Martha.  He appeared in the directory (1833) as a scissors maker and shop keeper in Shepherd Street.  By 1837, he had moved to Cornhill, where he continued to combine scissors manufacture with running a shop.   His name appeared in the directory (1841), but in the Census of that year only his wife, Mary, and son Henry (a caster) were enumerated in Cornhill (‘left hand going down’).   Stephen had been buried in Portobello churchyard on the day of the Census (6 June 1841).  He was aged 47.   His widow, Mary, continued the business in Cornhill as a cast scissors maker, who employed four men in 1851.  She was still pursuing this occupation a decade later, when she was living with her two daughters and a granddaughter, Mary Sellars, who was  a ‘rapper [sic] up of cutlery’.   Mary Shipman was buried in the same graveyard as her husband on 14 March 1865, aged 71.
